23.
June 21 Twin Barlors State Lab, Brays Hall Co, Wash.
where the Kniglet, Vire, V.C. Sparrow, White-backed Thrush + Crow all can be heard.
Spent most of the afternoon setting up camp and putting up my birds. Now can
hear a Whipthrash.
June 22 The day started overcast, but soon cleared
up. Hunted from 8-11am, good luck the first
2 hours, poor the last. Got 5 birds. Put them
up in the afternoon. There was a cool NW
breeze blowing most of today, as there
was yesterday. Only new bird today
is Flicker. Now, about 5:30pm, it is
overcast again. Did more exploring in
the evening, nearly going further on the
roads I'd lean on. There is little good area
that is shootable. Stopped at
2mi S, 3 mi E Westport, Sealend, Brays Hall Co, Wash.
where I got one White-crowned Sparrow. A
little ways east on the road there is a side
road with a sign saying "State Land". I
walked back (the road is blocked) about 1/2 mi.
The area is cut and very brushy, but there
is an old railroad bed, apparently, that gives
access deep into it. Think I heard a Puffed Grouse
drumming. Shot a Whipthrash. Whited for
owl here + in a small stand of redwoods, but
must have been too early.
